8 Days

What happened today?

Today...
Was my last day of classes of my first year of teaching
I had to tell some of my students goodbye (and probably never see them again)
Is my last Bible Study meeting
My stomach starting knotting up just thinking about leaving
Is ten months since I knew I had found the man of my dreams

11 Days

As a gift for taking care of the girls, Scott and Mimi gave Jess and I a free night at the Humuya Inn along with a full body massage and pedicure!  Talk about a great day.

Yesterday Jess and I went to the Inn around noon and were able to completely relax and enjoy a Saturday full of absolutely nothingness.  I ended up sitting on the roof and reading for the majority of the day, besides getting my first massage, free dinner at the Inn, and then a sweet pedicure.  Only to wake up in a comfy bed, in an air conditioned room, more reading on the roof and then a delicious fruit and cereal breakfast.

One thing I'll miss about Honduras: Some of the most delicious (not to mention inexpensive) mangos, bananas, pineapples and guavas I've ever had!

13 Days

This was my last week of teaching because next week is review and then exams begin on Thursday.  I really can't believe it's already Friday.  This last month is really flying by.  I'm going to miss my kids and all the crazy things they do and say.  Now that it is getting close to the end of the year, some of my students are really pushing my buttons, while some are pulling at my heart.  This has been such a great year.  I definitely won't leave Honduras as the same person I was when I came.

Tonight was a blast.  Dan and I took our Math Olympics team, a.k.a math nerds, out to dinner.  We had a great time joking around, telling our most embarrassing stories and just getting to know each other outside of school. We went back to Dan's apartment after dinner and played Settlers of Catan (a game none of us had played except for Dan).  Everyone had to leave before we finished, but hopefully we'll get a chance to play again.  The more I get to know my students, the more I realize how much I will miss them. 

p.s. If this blog doesn't make sense, you should know that I wrote the first paragraph before I left for dinner and the second after I got back.
